- TonyStr 6mo agoMy apologies, I think I was misremembering a quote from War and Peace. I actually went and found the passage that confused me: https://literaturepage.com/read/warandpeace-1228.html https://literaturepage.com/read/warandpeace-1228.html Thank you for correcting me! Tolstoy meant it philosophically/culturally, not literally.
